These WWE Superstars have forgetful Royal Rumble records

#2 Xavier Woods (3 seconds) - WWE Royal Rumble 2019

Xavier Woods has a lot of accomplishments to his name, but he might not be very fond of the 2019 Royal Rumble match. The multi-time tag team champion spent barely three seconds inside the ring before he was tossed over the top rope by Drew McIntyre. His elimination came as a shock because fans always expect a lot more from The New Day members - the most decorated stable in the history of WWE.

Woods entered the Royal Rumble match at No. 17 right after Drew McIntyre. Once the next countdown began, The Scottish Psychopath immediately turned his attention towards Woods. The latter got no opportunity to make an impact as he was immediately eliminated after stepping inside the ring.

Woods has since enjoyed a comfortable run in WWE. He had to take some time off the television after sustaining an injury, but he came back stronger than ever. He is currently feuding with RETRIBUTION in the absence of his tag team partner Kofi Kingston and will look to make an impact during this year’s Royal Rumble match.
